Success at Debating Competition
Congratulations to Krish L (U6JCC), Lucas S (U6TCF) and Vikram M (U6RS) on qualifying for the second round of the English Speaking Union Mace Competition, which is the oldest and largest debating competition for schools in England. They were in a strong heat that also included Harrow School, Swakeleys School for Girls, Whitmore High School, Hewens College and Featherstone High School.
In the debate, they opposed the motion: “This house would ban the use of digital manipulation in advertising, including social media ad content.” Krish spoke eloquently, providing philosophical reasons for opposition, while Vikram effectively presented the economic case. Lucas summed up the arguments succinctly and clearly articulated the points of clash with the other team.
Well done to our pupils on what was a very polished performance.
We provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities for all pupils.
At our Prep School we concur with educational theorists who emphasise the importance of the creative mind and ‘emotional intelligence’ and ‘wellbeing’ – the need to develop the whole personality and our pupil’s imaginations especially. Drama has the power to liberate the mind.
We encourage our pupils to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. 
At our Prep School, Computing covers the use of electronic technology in all its forms, including computers and other communication devices.
• What is religion?
Art is an integral part of our Prep School’s curriculum, providing our pupils with a unique means of expressing their ideas by allowing them to explore new thoughts and give life to their creative minds.
History is taught throughout the School and pupils are encouraged to find out about events and peoples.
Planet Earth is our only home. It is an mind-blowing, diverse and constantly changing place of awesome beauty and power. 
French is the language of our nearest neighbours, probably the easiest foreign language for English speakers to learn and, after English, one of the most widely-learned languages worldwide.
The core of every science lesson at our Prep School is about developing every pupil’s curiosity in the world around them. 
Mathematics is a key subject for children of all ages at our Prep School.
English is taught using lively and creative methods through a variety of texts and resources incorporating ICT from Pre-Prep onwards.
